I've signed and consumed ECC certs just fine. My only problem is that when I specify a hash algorithm like SHA-256, OpenSSL falls back to the default SHA-1 for self-signed certs only. On Feb 13, 2008, at 7:13 AM, Nabil Ghadiali wrote: Ahh ok. That means that even if the signature is val

Can you be more specific about what your problem is? The cert appears to be a self-signed cert. The command "openssl x509 -in test.pem -noout -text" generates: Certificate: Data: Version: 3 (0x2) Serial Number: d2:4e:d0:af:62:63:da:1b Signature
